Mary Houlihan Chicago Sun-Times Henson nicely captures Starks' determination but also her doubts and personal demons. Rated: 2.5/4 Apr 24, 2014 Full Review Andrea Beach Common Sense Media Solid sports tale has positive messages, feel-good themes. Rated: 3/5 Feb 25, 2015 Full Review Michael Dequina TheMovieReport.com Henson's performance goes a long way toward selling the uniqueness and importance of Starks and her story--which Bagley almost appears determined to flatten out in the most cookie-cutter-familiar way possible. Rated: 2.5/4 May 1, 2014 Full Review Kam Williams Baret News A well-deserved, if syrupy sweet, overdue tribute to an African-American role model and trailblazer. Rated: 2.5/4 Apr 22, 2014 Full Review Read all reviews
